your heart must be so dark to see people resisting, dying in doing so, families being displaced, children witnessing gruesome violence, that’s if they survive, and think it’s their fault someone decided their homes no longer belonged to them bc you want to live like the west.

They knew exactly who Mona Khalil was.
They knew the bright orange house in Mansouri, south Lebanon. They knew it was not a military site, not a command center, not a battlefield position. It was one of the most recognizable symbols of environmental conservation on Lebanon's southern coast; a sanctuary dedicated to protecting endangered sea turtles and preserving life.
Mona spent her years defending the most vulnerable creatures of the Mediterranean, teaching generations that every life matters, that nature is not a casualty to be discarded, and that humanity has a duty to protect what cannot protect itself.
Yet the same orange house that stood as a beacon of conservation became a target for terrorist Israel.
This was an assault on a woman whose life's work was devoted to safeguarding life itself. A woman known internationally for her environmental activism, whose name had become synonymous with the protection of Lebanon's coastline and its endangered sea turtles.
The murder of Mona Khalil sends a chilling message: even those whose only weapon is compassion, whose only mission is preservation, are not spared.

i need to accept life as it is. i need to accept the passage of time, the loss of loved ones, the years i won’t get back, the moments i won’t get to relive. i need to accept that this is the only life i’m gonna have, and that was the only childhood i could get. i need to let go.
Let me make something clear to non-Lebanese people.
The majority of "Phoenicians", esp the ones who claim only christians descend from this group, are not interested in Lebanese history and heritage. They just want an excuse to otherize muslims and imply that they are invaders.
What will the death toll in Lebanon have to reach to, for the world to gain some consciousness?
Did the crimes and massacres in Gaza desensitize you? Are you willing to repeat the same silence?
يؤسفني خبّركم حقيقة كلكم بتعرفوها بس بتخافوا تصدّقوها، وأتفهّم هالشي طبعًا لأنها قاسية، ولكن نحن أرقام، ما إلنا عازة، حياتنا ما إلها قيمة، وياما شعوب انمسحت والعالم كمّل طبيعي. العالم غابة، العالم للقوي، ليلي معه مصاري تستعبد البشرية وتسرقها، للحاصل على آخر التكنولوجيات والفتك العسكري. ولا يوم العالم كان عادِل، ولا يوم الحياة كانت إلنا، ولا يوم عاش البشر بسلام، وشو ما كان بُعدك الأيديولوجي انت بتعرف هالشي. إن كنت ضعيف ما بيعترف العالم بوجودك ولا بإنك جزء من الحضار�� الإنسانية حتّى، ما بيعترف إنو عندك حقوق وانو حياتك إلها قيمة. تعب أمّك وسهرها وتعب والدك وشغله وشقاء السنين وخوفك وقلقك وتعب أخوتك وأهلك وناسك وأصحابك وتعبك الشخصي، كل هيدا بالهوا، بس يقرّر النظام إنو قصتك خلصت.
أو كيف بتفسّر، انو معتوه ساكن بقصر بواشنطن، ممكن يقضي على مستقبل وحياة ومشاريع وأحلام ملايين الناس مثل ما حاصل هلق وما حدا عارف يعمل شي. أو طيار أبله ما بيعرف عنك شي، بجزء من الثانية، ممكن يعملك أشلاء والعالم يصفق له. أو واحد جاي من آخر الدنيا يقلّك هالأرض لقاعد فيها بتخصّني.
قاسية؟ صحيح. بس هاي الحقيقة. لبيحتاج الشفقة هو نحن لباقيين، لراحوا ارتاح��ا.
This is colonial ventriloquism. Our sovereignty can only be upheld and protected through a steadfast rejection of Lebanon becoming an object of imperial choreography.
History proves that Lebanese dignity was not won at a table in Washington, but through the 18-year resistance that forced a unilateral retreat of our occupier in 2000 without a single concession.
No decree or diplomat can compel us to embrace the hands that are drenched in the blood of our people.
